Info • Ostreococcus lucimarinus

Status

Ostreococcus lucimarinus genome has been sequenced at JGI and finished at the Stanford Genome Center. The assembly release v.2.0 contains 13,204,894 bp of finished quality sequence in 21 chromosomes. This release includes a total of 7,651 predicted gene models produced through the collaboration of JGI, Ghent University (Belgium) and UCSD annotation teams.

These preliminary sets of gene models and annotations are being refined through further comparative analysis and manual curation.
